Holiday home - Arezzo, Italy

Description

This former farmhouse is located between Arezzo (7 km) and Casitiglion Fiorentino (10 km) on the edge of the Chiana Valley, surrounded by olive trees and vineyards. For Tuscany specialists, living in a classic Leopoldina is a very special attraction: The massive 18th century farmhouse once housed large farming families who farmed the surrounding land. Today you can enjoy a wonderful holiday here: The former stable has been converted into a spacious dining room with an open-plan kitchen area and direct access to the garden; a large bedroom with bathroom, a bathroom and a guest WC are also located on the ground floor; on the first floor, which is accessed via the central stone staircase, there is a bright living room with an open fireplace and a further four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Above one bedroom there is a gallery with a single bed. On the fully fenced plot there is a pool area with sun terrace, a seating area under the traditional mulberry tree with barbecue, pizza oven and fountain; plenty of space for exercise, volleyball. A small neighbouring outbuilding is enclosed. The furnishings are rustic, in Tuscan style. Just below the house, along the central canal of the Chiana Valley, a cycle path leads from Arezzo (7 km) to Lake Trasimeno (30 km). Just 3 km away there is a well-known riding stable for private lessons or group rides; about 5 km up in the mountains you can enjoy the view of the valley from above while hiking and picnicking in the Lignano Nature Park. The owner is happy to organise a cooking service (Tuscan cuisine) or pizza evenings in the hotel's own pizza oven for his guests on request; wine tastings in the surrounding cantine, trekking tours or city tours. Also available on site: olive oil, honey and home-grown wine. Siena (60 km) and Florence (80 km) are also within easy reach. Short unpaved access road.
